Welcome
There has been a church presence in Holbrooks since the early decades of the 20th century, when housing began to be built for people working in local industry.
The Church of Saint Luke was constructed in 1939 and, like the people of its parish, suffered the effects of the Second World War and its aftermath. The bomb damage was, however, made good and the church restored, a symbol of reconciliation and of God’s enduring presence among his people.
Over the years our area has seen many changes, and Saint Luke’s remains at the heart of the community as a reminder of God’s presence in our world and of his love alive and active in our neighbourhood.
We hope you will find the information on this website useful. It will let you know who we are, where we are, and what we are trying to achieve in God’s name in our parish.

Feast of Saints Simon and Jude. Mass at 19.00 followed by Bible Study. The Mass readings are available at rb.gy/xz3p1p. Simon is eleventh in the list of the twelve apostles. He is known as Simon the Zealot, but nothing else is known about him. His other name of 'Simon Cananaeus' simply adapts another Hebrew word for 'zeal' and has nothing to do with the town of Cana. Jude, also called Thaddaeus, is the apostle who at the Last Supper asked the Lord why he showed himself only to the disciples and not to the world. For many centuries he was scarcely venerated because people confused him with Judas Iscariot. He is the patron saint of lost and desperate causes. ... See MoreSee Less
